Games, movies, Zhou Fangyuan's visit to the United States this time is mainly for these two aspects of work.

Now that everything is almost settled, he is ready to leave, after all, the World Cup is not long before and he is ready to fly to Germany to participate in the World Cup group match in Germany this summer.

However, before going to Germany, he still had to go to China to be virtuous, but in fact, there are more things in China, and all aspects of work, cumulatively, have become quite a terrible amount.

Fortunately, Zhou Fangyuan has been constantly delegating power since he founded Yuanfang Group. The purpose of delegating power, on the one hand, is to liberate oneself, after all, the easy-going Jiaye is constantly getting bigger, and whoever it is, it is impossible to bow down to everything when it is time. Through the initial period and so much, you can deepen the relationship between the leader and the employee, and the team size should not exceed 100 people, so that he can control everything in the company to the greatest extent. But if the enterprise wants to develop well, 100 employees are really the entry level. But any company with almost the bottom order, the number of employees is easily 300+, and some companies that need a large number of personnel, thousands or even thousands, are very simple. And when the company has hundreds of employees, or even thousands or even thousands of employees, it is impossible for anyone to do everything themselves. Because it's a very complex, a lot of work, and it's simply not something that one person can do.

I can't finish it when I'm tired.

Therefore, it is necessary to have an orderly system organization to complete these tasks, which is also a sequence that exists within every large group.

It's just that Zhou Fang let go much earlier than ordinary people, he got up very early in the group, and when it was not enough to call the group hungry, he had already begun to let go. Only grasp the general direction, give enough freedom to the people below, of course, to give freedom is not completely indulgent, the group's internal supervision department has been staring at the various branches. Of course, Yuanfang Group does not mean that there are no problems, as long as people have selfish intentions, so far, the president of the branch that has been withdrawn alone, there are as many as five people, vice presidents and department managers, etc., and there are as many as 100 people.

Almost every branch has a high-level executive who has been dismissed, and Zhou Fangyuan has always been very ruthless in this kind of thing.

......

On May 31, the plane landed in Paris, and Zhou Fangyuan returned to France.

The matter over there has been settled, and this time, he is purely back to watch the ball game with his family.

In 2006, the 18th World Cup was held by Germany, which was also the first time that Germany hosted the World Cup.

The countries bidding for this World Cup are Germany, England, South Africa and Morocco. In the first round of voting, which was attended by 24 members of FIFA's executive committee, England received 5 votes, South Africa received 6 votes, Germany received 10 votes, and Morocco was eliminated first with only 3 votes. In the second round of voting, Germany and South Africa received 11 votes each, and England received 2 votes to be eliminated. In the final round of voting, one member abstained, and out of a total of 23 votes, Germany received 12 votes and South Africa 11 votes. Germany won the 2006 World Cup by one vote.

For this World Cup, Germany has also used two new technologies.

The first is football plus chips, in order to avoid goal disputes due to some angle problems, the World Cup special ball "Team Star" implanted a computer chip in the ball, once the ball crosses the goal line or the bottom line of the sideline, the chip will automatically send a signal to the referee's headset to remind the referee to make the corresponding decision.

The second is high-tech counter-terrorism, with special cameras set up in various stadiums where the World Cup matches are held in Germany that are able to record the biometric facial features of suspicious people. The footage of the video is immediately checked against the photographs stored in the database.

During the World Cup from June 9 to July 9, 2006, more than 30,000 police officers were on duty, some of them equipped with "rapid identification" mobile fingerprint devices. After the police obtain the fingerprint information of the suspicious person, the central database of the German Federal Intelligence Department will immediately match and identify the fingerprint information to ensure that the World Cup can be held safely and smoothly.

In this World Cup, FIFA divided the 32 participating teams into 4 pots, with Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico and Spain being seeded. Pot 2 is Angola, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Tunisia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Australia, Pot 3 is Croatia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine, and Pot 4 is Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Costa Rica, USA, South Korea, Trinidad and Tobago.

Among them, Serbia and Montenegro is a special team.

The draw is based on a maximum of 2 European teams in the same group, and teams from other continents cannot be in the same group. As a result, Serbia and Montenegro, which is placed in special gear, can only be in the same group as Brazil, Argentina or Mexico, while Australia in Oceania can be in the same group as either team. The draw was presided over by the then head of FIFA's public relations department, Siegler, and it was the first time that the World Cup group draw ceremony was presided over by the director of public relations instead of the secretary general, and Higler was partnered by German supermodel Heidi Krum. The ceremony lasted one and a half hours and was broadcast to 145 countries and regions by 160 television stations around the world.

The draw resulted in the Netherlands being in Group C with Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro and Ivory Coast joining the formidable Serbia and Montenegro, Italy and the Czech Republic, the United States and Ghana in Group E, England coach Sven-Goran Eriksen against his home country Sweden, and hosts Germany avoiding European powerhouses.

It can be said that this World Cup is full of highlights, and before the game has even started, fans around the world have been boiling.

The first match of the World Cup, the match between the hosts Germany and Costa Rica, takes place at midnight on June 10 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Zhou Fangyuan and their family took down the tickets half a month in advance, Zhou Fangyuan of course got the tickets through Yuntong, if he bought them himself, even if he queued up all night, he couldn't miss such an important first game.

The day before the game, Lao Zhou's family and his family came to Munich and rested in the hotel for a long time, then left the hotel, took the car provided by the hotel, and drove towards the stadium.

Zhou Fangyuan is quite calm, he has already watched a live match in 02, and he has established a good personal friendship with Ronaldo, so he is not too excited about today's event. But the family is different, especially Dad, who is a real fan, but has never had the opportunity to watch a live game. So this time, Zhou Fangyuan directly prepared a package of tickets for all the games for his father, as long as he wants, he can go to any arena to watch any game.

The 06 World Cup, in the heart of Zhou Fangyuan in his previous life, also has a certain status. Because at this time in his previous life, he also watched the whole process on the Internet and TV.

This World Cup can be said to gather the best footballers in the world, Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane, Figo, Carlos, Ballack, Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Nedved, Totti, Piero, Kahn, Van der Sar, Barthez, Owen, Crespo, Nesta, Thuram, Vieira, Ruud van Nistelro, Raul...... A football legend of Yishui'er. In addition, this World Cup has also emerged many new stars in future football, such as Messi and Ronaldo, who will dominate football for ten years in the future, are now young players who are participating in the World Cup for the first time.

The '06 World Cup not only had many legendary stars, but also gave birth to goals that many fans will remember for a long time. In the opening match between Germany and Costa Rica, Lahm won the ball in the sixth minute, and everyone in the stadium thought he would cross to Klose, but the German teenager hit the goal with a stunning long-range goal, which was also Lahm's first goal at the World Cup. This earth-shattering wave ignited the whole of Germany!

Then there's the Italian midfielder, Andrea Pirlo, who reached his peak at the World Cup in Germany. The Italian midfield maestro has repeatedly been the key man of the game and has been voted Man of the Match in a row. In the group stage against Ghana, Andrea Pirlo also scored his first World Cup goal with a groundbreaking long-range shot. While those goals drew most of the spotlight, Ronaldo the "Extra-Terregal" remained one of the spotlights. He scored twice against Japan in the final round of the group stage, equalling legendary German goalscorer Gerd Müller's World Cup personal goal record.

There are too many wonderful goals in this World Cup, but the most memorable is Zinedine Zidane, who dared to kick the spoon penalty in the World Cup final, and his penalty made the whole of France boil!

A quarter of the 32 teams in the '06 World Cup round of 32, such as Angola, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Trinidad and Tobago, are experiencing the World Cup finals for the first time. There are also teams from the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Serbia and Montenegro that are playing in the World Cup for the first time since independence, having previously belonged to Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia respectively. The furthest of these teams in this World Cup is Ukraine, who have the "nuclear warhead" Shepchenko, who faced Spain in their opening game and were beaten by the Matadors by four goals. They then regrouped and defeated Saudi Arabia 4-0 and Tunisia 1-0 to finish second in the group and reach the quarterfinals.

Ukraine met Switzerland in the quarter-finals, and both sides did not make a difference in regular time and dragged into extra time to no avail, until Ukraine defeated Switzerland 3-0 in the penalty shoot-out, and reached the quarter-finals to meet the Italian team led by Andrea Pirlo, although Ukraine was eliminated from the competition, their performance left a deep impression on the fans. The 06 World Cup is also the only World Cup trip in the career of Ukrainian legend Andrei Shevchenko......

The youngest team in the 06 World Cup is Ghana, their average age is only 24 years old, and they reached the 1/8 finals where they met the most successful team in the World Cup, "Five Star Brazil", who is also the defending champion, and in the end, the Star-studded Samba Army defeated the young Ghanaians.

Of course, in addition to passion and heat on the football field, there are also "red cards and pathos".

There are always some misjudgments from referees in big sports competitions, and the '06 World Cup was no exception. In the quarter-final between Portugal and the Netherlands, the young Dutch golden generation made their debut at the World Cup, and under the leadership of legendary striker Van Nistelrooy, they were full of energy and spirit. Portugal is led by Real Madrid legend Figo, who, like the veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy, is also Figo's last World Cup. Only one minute into the game, Van Bommel violently tackled Cristiano Ronaldo in fancy dribbling, and referee Ivanov immediately showed the first yellow card of the game. This pretty much set the tone for the chaos of this contentious match. In the 6th minute, in the process of a scrum, Blaluz kicked Ronaldo's thigh with an unrestrained kick, and Ronaldo, who was on the World Cup for the first time, fell to the ground in pain. The referee did not hesitate to pull out the second yellow card of the game. Portugal's first shot then found the Netherlands in the open, and Maniche dodged the defender and fired into the net to give Portugal a 1-0 lead.

Ronaldo, who lasted for 20 minutes, couldn't hold on any longer and was finally replaced, and the Portuguese big brothers saw it in their eyes and held back their strength to stand up for their younger brother. And the subsequent arena was transformed into a "brawl field". Deco and Costinha of the Portuguese team, Blarouz and Van Bronckhorst of the Netherlands were sent off with two yellows and one red. It was a violent contest with tackles, fake throws, overheads and even delays, verbal altercations and handballs. In the whole game, the busiest person was the referee Ivanov from Russia, who gave a total of 16 yellow cards and 4 red cards, setting a record of shame in the history of the World Cup. The score remained 1-0 until the end of the match, and Portugal also reached the quarter-finals.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was not seriously injured, then returned, and Portugal faced David Beckham's England team in the next quarter-finals. The two sides drew in regulation time and dragged it into extra time and then to a penalty shoot-out, which ended with England falling to the penalty shoot-out and Portugal reaching the last four of the World Cup for the first time in 40 years. In this game, Rooney did not play well and was sent off with a red card. And Beckham tried his last bit of energy to be substituted early due to injury, Beckham, who was sitting on the bench, shed unwilling tears, he cried so sadly, how much he wanted to fight for the team, but England still regretted saying goodbye to the World Cup in the way they are most familiar with.

Of course, the most memorable part of this tournament is "Zidane and the champion Italy".

If Zhou Fangyuan remembers correctly, just six minutes into the final, France took the lead thanks to Zidane's spoon penalty. Twenty minutes later, Andrea Pirlo headed in a pinpoint corner and Materazzi equalised with a header. Unexpectedly, when the game was about to end and entered the penalty shootout, Zidane was suddenly sent off with a red card for Materazzi on the head, and Zidane and the Hercules Cup passed by from within reach, and a generation of midfield masters left the field in disgrace. After the World Cup, Zidane also officially retired, and the French legend officially ended.

There are too many wonderful and unforgettable scenes in this World Cup, although Zhou Fangyuan has already watched it once, but as time goes by, the opening game is about to start, and his mood can't help but get excited.
